2. Valve RF amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_RF_amplifier

   An RF power amplifier is tuned to a single frequency as low as 18 kHz and as high as the UHF range of frequencies, for the purpose of radio transmission or industrial heating. They use a narrow tuned circuit to provide the valve with a suitably high load impedance and feed a load that is typically 50 or 75 Ohms.

3. Low-noise amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_amplifier

   A low-noise amplifier (LNA) is an electronic component that amplifies a very low-power signal without significantly degrading its signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Any electronic amplifier will increase the power of both the signal and the noise present at its input, but the amplifier will also introduce some additional noise.

4. Iris (transponder) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_(transponder)

   The Iris transponder for deep space communication. The Iris transponder is a small, low power deep-space transponder designed by JPL for use in cubesats. [1] [2] It unifies a number of communication functions - receiver, command detector, telemetry modulator, exciters, and control functions - into one 1.2-kg package that occupies about 0.5 U. Iris is designed to handle X band uplink, UHF ...

5. Noise figure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_figure

   The first amplifier in a chain usually has the most significant effect on the total noise figure because the noise figures of the following stages are reduced by stage gains. Consequently, the first amplifier usually has a low noise figure, and the noise figure requirements of subsequent stages is usually more relaxed.

6. RF front end - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RF_front_end

   An RF amplifier, often called the low-noise amplifier (LNA). Its primary responsibility is to increase the sensitivity of the receiver by amplifying weak signals without contaminating them with noise, so that they can stay above the noise level in succeeding stages. It must have a very low noise figure (NF). The RF amplifier may not be needed ...

7. Low-noise block downconverter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_block_downconverter

   The low-noise quality of an LNB is expressed as the noise figure (or sometimes noise temperature). This is the signal-to-noise ratio at the input divided by the signal-to-noise ratio at the output. It is typically expressed as a decibels (dB) value. The ideal LNB, effectively a perfect amplifier, would have a noise figure of 0 dB and would not ...
